    Jun 10 2025

    Send us a text

    In this behind-the-scenes episode, you’ll hear a real coaching moment where a forgotten email becomes the spark for life-changing habit change. I'm not exaggerating. Through laughter, reflection, and a few well-timed nudges, I'll show you how as a coach, there's a method to my "you gotta get it out of your head and document certain key things along your health ride" madness. It's a strategy from my abc Habit Playbook that I call From Mind to Matter and it works because documenting your experience—and revisiting it—can powerfully shift everything.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Why we’re terrible at remembering what works (and what doesn’t)
    • How to use your own past insights as motivation
    • The emotional weight of “doing it all yourself”—and how to lighten it
    • Why simple habits are often the most impactful
    • How coaching helps turn insights into lasting action

    Join me and let's do more of this together. Let me prompt you at the right times and for the right reasons to get things out of your head and onto paper (or your screen) so you, too can feel The Habit Hub Approach to feeling good really work for you. Click here for next steps.

  • Bonus: Effective Habits to Reduce Inflammation and Boost Energy with Amy Behimer
    May 27 2025

    Send us a text

    If you're living with an autoimmune condition or managing chronic inflammation, building sustainable habits can feel overwhelming.

    But what if you could feel better by doing less, not more?

    This week on the show, I'm sharing an episode of The Body Nerd Show where I got to be the one answering questions for a change.

    I share a big about my story, diagnosed with MS in 2012. I talk about my approach to health and wellness and living a good life with my diagnosis, and how I blend my personal journey with professional expertise to help others feel better through feel-good habits - without falling into the trap of perfectionism.

    Whether you’re living with MS or another autoimmune diagnosis, I promise you this conversation is the breath of fresh air and permission you’ve been waiting for.

    You’ll learn:

    • The key habits for reducing inflammation
    • Why rest is more effective than “stressing less”
    • How to set perfectionism aside and make truly sustainable habits
    • What inflammation really is and how to measure progress beyond just lab results

  • Habit 93: Move Smarter, Not Harder with Alexandra Ellis
    May 20 2025

    Send us a text

    You don’t have to push harder to feel better. In this conversation with movement educator and self-proclaimed Body Nerd Alex Ellis, we explore how rethinking movement can relieve pain, support autoimmune health, and make strength training actually doable—even when you're dealing with fatigue, hypermobility, or injuries. From therapy balls to lazy-boy squats, we cover simple, science-backed ways to move your body differently—and feel better doing it.

    What you’ll hear in this episode:

    • Why more stretching isn’t always better—and what to do instead
    • How hypermobility and pain are connected (and what is often missed)
    • The surprising benefits of strength training for autoimmune health
    • Why small, gentle movements can be just as powerful as workouts
    • How to use therapy balls for pain relief, lymphatic flow, and nervous system regulation
    • The difference between good pain and bad pain—and how to tune into your body’s whispers
    • What it really means to “maintain your body”

    DO of the DAY:
    Pick one new movement to try today. Reach up every time you walk through a doorway. Or try standing from your chair without using your hands. Or roll a tennis ball under your foot while you work. One tiny action counts toward maintaining your body—and feeling better.

    • The surprising science behind aging, energy, and intergenerational connection
    • What’s missing in most healthcare visits—and how coaching fills the gap

  • Habit 91: Keep Just The Essence
    May 6 2025

    Send us a text

    When a habit feels hard to break, it might be because you’re trying to give up more than you need to. In this episode, I teach a powerful strategy that lets you honor what you actually love about a habit—without keeping the parts that no longer serve your health goals. You’ll hear examples from my life and my clients, and walk away with a fresh, flexible mindset that helps you make lasting change feel easier.

    Key Takeaways:

    • The part of a habit you think you have to give up might not be the part you actually love most.
    • There’s a way to create change that doesn’t feel like sacrifice—and it starts with one key question.
    • What if you could keep the feeling, the vibe, the ritual… just in a healthier form?
    • This isn’t about tricking your brain—it’s about understanding how it really works, and working with it instead of against it.
    • Whether it's wine, fried food, or a hike you used to love, this episode shows you how to honor the essence—and rewrite the rest.

    I wrap up, as always, with an invite for your DO of the DAY. One small action to take what you learn and actually apply it so you can be your healthiest.

    If today's the day to experience The Habit Hub Approach to becoming your healthiest, I've got you HERE.

  • Habit 90: Drop the 'Shoulds' with Ayurvedic Coach Carly Banks
    Apr 29 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the path to feeling better wasn’t about learning more—but remembering what you already know? In this conversation with Ayurvedic practitioner Carly Banks, we explore how ancient wisdom meets modern health in simple, doable ways. You'll hear how to make Ayurveda incredibly approachable, how your energy might be tied to your dosha, and how tiny “pocket practices” can shift everything—even if you never take a supplement or memorize your mind-body type.

    This episode is a permission slip to drop the shoulds and start trusting yourself again. No overwhelm required.

    Key Takeaways

    • You don’t have to overhaul your life to start using Ayurveda—it’s about tuning into what you already feel.
    • Most “healthy” trends are helpful only if they’re right for your body and energy—Ayurveda helps you filter what’s for you.
    • Pocket practices are the key: small, simple actions that restore energy, balance, and well-being. Think, TRUST in the TINY.
    • Every dosha has beautiful strengths and specific imbalances; knowing yours helps you show up with more compassion.
    • True rest requires less stimulation—not just fewer tasks, but fewer inputs like screens, books, and noise.

    "The overall sense of a life well lived is the accumulation of the little ways that you treated yourself every single day." Carly Banks

    DO of the DAY: Drop one “should.” Just one.

    Pick a habit, a food, a trend, or a to-do that you’ve been doing because someone else told you to, and let it go. Try trusting yourself instead—and notice how that feels.

    Follow Carly on Insta @thehabitayurveda or get to know yourself through the lens of Ayurveda with a free quiz at thehabit.net/quiz.

    To learn more about the doshas, Carly kindly shared a free class. Check it out here.

  • Real Coaching: "But I don't want to get out of bed!"
    Apr 22 2025

    Send us a text

    We’re back with another live coaching session. Why listen to me talk about how coaching works and listen in on a real example instead. Thank you to my client and CLUB-er Hannah for her willingness to ask for coaching to work through a very real challenge: struggling to get out of bed in the morning—despite knowing how it impacts her day. We unpack the modern sleep dilemma, revisit the lost art of "second sleep," and explore how deeply our mindset, environment, and seemingly small decisions (like hitting snooze) affect our energy and motivation.

    Key Takeaways:

    • “Second sleep” is a historically normal pattern of waking in the night, and reframing it can reduce sleep anxiety.
    • Sleep hygiene is often resisted, not because it doesn’t work, but because we don’t consistently work it.
    • How using The Habit Hub Approach—specifically, creating a thought, feeling, and action plan—can help you get out of bed…even when you reallyyyyy don’t want to.
    • How TRUSTING in the TINY helps build momentum and clarity.
